For the real estate buyer that would like to customize their living experience in this area, the ability to choose a waterfront lot and build a new structure provides a more flexible option for realizing your dreams. Some of the primary features that customers evaluate when considering waterfront property include: surrounding water depth, quality and composition of shoreline, and the overall attractiveness of the view afforded at each location, especially as it pertains to privacy.

It’s also helpful to be aware of certain nuances to our landscape that can affect the manner in which a property is used.  As many residents will tell you, the numerous bays that populate our region create a unique environment that provides protection from the normally rough waters of Lake Huron.  However, outside of certain locations that are naturally protected from the wind and waves of the lake, homeowners may need to strategically build a dock that accounts for greater to exposure to the elements, or consider docking their boat at one of the local marinas.

The vast amount of Lake Huron shoreline from St. Ignace to De Tour offers an incredible array of beautiful places for building a summer cottage in the U.P.
